Okay, so I have about 60-70ish dollars, Im tired of running on this old integrated chipset and am tired of getting 5 FPS on Source games with lowest settings.
I need some help finding the best video card for this price range that can run games such as Half Life, Counterstrike, Garrys Mod, Left 4 Dead, and Portal at a safe framerate (meaning above 40 or so, locked, not dropping to or below 30) with a resolution of 1280x1024 with high graphical settings.
The main issue is power consumption, which is something I do not know much about. My computers PSU is max 350w, and I am not able to upgrade it.
So guys, best video card for this PSU? I really do not want to buy one that is going to require too much power, I need one that works.
One I have looked into is the Geforce 430, but it seems to be pretty crappy from what I hear.
What can get me the best performance?
